Sialidases are therefore orchestrators of cellular biology and important therapeutic targets for viral infection. Here, we sought to define if uncharacterized sialidases would provide distinct paradigms in sialic acid biochemistry. We show that a recently discovered sialidase family, whose first member EnvSia156 was isolated from hot spring metagenomes, defines an unusual structural fold and active centre constellation, not previously described in sialidases. Consistent with an inverting mechanism, EnvSia156 reveals a His/Asp active center in which the His acts as a Bronsted acid and Asp as a Bronsted base in a single-displacement mechanism. A predominantly hydrophobic aglycone site facilitates accommodation of a variety of 2-linked sialosides; a versatility that offers the potential for glycan hydrolysis across a range of biological and technological platforms. Inverting family GH156 sialidases define an unusual catalytic motif for glycosidase action.,Bule P, Chuzel L, Blagova E, Wu L, Gray MA, Henrissat B, Rapp E, Bertozzi CR, Taron CH, Davies GJ Nat Commun. 2019 Oct 23;10(1):4816. doi: 10.1038/s41467-019-12684-7.
